Sep 4, 2012

I came back from the doctor this morning and was excited that my blood cholesterol has dropped by 10 pts. The drop was over the last 3 months period. Thanks in part to the routine exercise I did in preparation for the triathlon and the reduction in diet (less deep fried pork, more on vege/fish). 

Here are my cholesterol numbers so far:

First quarter slugs

Oh well lets see. 

March 2016:

Tomorrow Im going for my executive check up. Been a while since 2012! Where did all the time go!

One bike in January, one swim in Feb and another cross fit in Feb. Thats all i can muster!???? Bad !

Gotta stop writing and start doing!

See saw battle

I went as high as 80kg a few days ago. But now with some lessened dinner effort I am at 78kg. But the sad part is its barely 2 weeks to the event where I need to wear some tight blazers! 

The thing is if i wore myself too soon and too fast id probably be ending up sick. Especially on a december weather pattern here in SG where its almost raining in most afternoons!

Lost momentum?

I still refuse to give up..Even if there's only barely more than 1 month end 2015. I believe I can still make some progress even for a small effort. No small effort goes unnoticed when it comes to health matters.

It IS tough while rearing a baby a family and a career altogether. But hey, I am determined to make some dent in this journey called life. 

Losing momentum

And yes. I did miss the triathlon set for July this year. So much has occured! Its all baby baby and more baby excuses. But its worth it. 

I know its a bad excuse. But i have to force myself to earmark time. After all, exercises is not wasting time. Its extending time!

Spendijg 1 hr on the gym is equal to 1 hour of extended time on your life!

This is my weight on the 3rd week of targetting 6 kilos in 3month. I started off with 79 kilos at beginning of the month.

To hit 73 kilos December! Never been done before. But lets see how it goes!
